Dead man on subway unnoticed for hours

NEW YORK, NEW YORK — A man was found dead on a New York subway car during morning rush hour, and his body may have ridden the train for hours.

The body of Eugene Reilly, 64, was found at 7 a.m. Thursday in a car of the train in the 14th Street-Union Square station, a NYC Transit spokesman said.

There were no signs of foul play or injuries.

Reilly, a Postal Service employee, typically worked a 4 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. shift in Manhattan. If he left work as usual and died on the trip home to Brooklyn, then his body could have gone unnoticed for about six hours.
